Freshers’ Week
Freshers’ Week is a seven-day festival that introduces you to student life and celebrates the start of your time at University. All student bodies – the Students’ Representative Council (SRC), the Queen Margaret Union, the Glasgow University Union and the Sports Association – organise a variety of events for you to enjoy, whatever your tastes and interests.
During the day, you can begin to get academic with one of the many pub quizzes on offer, or hear one of the talks from local authors and talents. If you’d rather relax, frequent film-showings give you the perfect opportunity to do so, and you can even join in yoga sessions to completely de-stress before the night’s activities which will provide some of the best memories, and most fun, of your time at Glasgow.
Bands, DJs, comedians, world record-breaking ceilidhs, formal balls: all have been offered in previous Freshers’ Weeks. Big names are a guarantee. The Subways, Wiley, Tim Westwood, Killa Kella, Ministry of Sound, Biffy Clyro, Colin Murray, Zane Lowe: all have played sell-out shows to the crowds during the week.
